Seven months after playing for Moreton Bay United in Australia's National Premier League the waiting game was finally over when Josh Brindell-South made his debut for the Wellington Phoenix in Newcastle on Sunday.

The Phoenix's 3-2 victory over the Jets at Hunter Stadium also qualified as a belated 21st present - and offered proof he might eventually come of age as a versatile defender.

Signed by the Phoenix on a one-year deal last July, Brindell-South had been confined to the training field until Michael Boxall picked up his fifth yellow card against Adelaide United and Albert Riera injured his groin shortly before the team left for a round 18 clash that culminated in them climbing into the playoff bracket.
